Long term investing

Some people do short term, or medium or long term investing. But the bible speaks of really long term investing; investing with a payout thousands of years out:

“Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid.But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.” Luke 14:12-14

The trick to this investing is you have to actually believe there is going to be a real second life. Most people don’t. Most Christians view heaven or the afterlife in fairytale terms.
